The Government of Georgia is guaranteeing the upcoming local self-government election will be free, fair and transparent.
The importance of a transparent electoral environment was emphasized by Vice Prime Minister Kakha Kaladze after a Government session today.
"I think the upcoming election should held in a calm atmosphere. I experienced the condition we were working in during the past parliamentary election in 2012 and how the Georgian Dream supporters and party members were persecuted. It was unacceptable for everyone and is still undesirable.
"We guarantee that the Government will do everything possible to ensure a free and fair election. In such an environment as it was during the presidential elections,” Kaladze announced.
Meanwhile, for free and fair elections to be held, Prime Minister Irakli Garibahsvili today called on the country’s law enforcement agencies not to detain or apply any other form of legal restrictions on activists or political figures involved in the upcoming local self-government election.
Earlier today the Georgian Government approved the June 15 election date, which was formally issued by the President of Georgia yesterday.
Georgia’s Prime Minister has faith in the upcoming local self-government elections and has issued a moratorium on legal proceedings against those involved in election campaigns to help ensure a free and fair election.
There are 62 days left before Georgian citizens are able to elect who they wish to run the capital city and local municipalities.
Georgia’s governing Georgian Dream coalition has officially activated all of its 74 campaign headquarters across the country for the 2014 municipal elections.
